My Mother is Gone
I can shed tears that she is gone,
Or I can smile because she lived,
I can close my eyes and pray that she will come back,
Or I can open my eyes and be grateful that the good Lord has stopped her suffering.
My heart can be empty because I can't see her
Or I can be full of the love that she shared with me,
I can turn my back on tomorrow and live yesterday with my grief,
Or I can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
I can remember my mother and only that she is gone,
Or I can cherish her memory and let it live on,
I can cry and close my mind be empty and turn my back,
Or I can do what she would want: smile, open my eyes, love and go on.
I hope I've made you proud dear Mother
For there will never be another.
Cause there is no love greater,
Than a child has for their Mother.
Sincerely, your youngest and most wayward son Bill you'll be deeply missed but never forgotten.
